We divide personal insurance into three categories:
a) Term life insurance
The basic feature of term life insurance policies is the payment of an amount agreed in the contract that is dependent on whether or not the insured person dies during the term.
Death due to any cause → Death due to any cause is understood to be natural or sudden death
Natural death. The result of a progressive weakening of vital functions
Sudden death. Defined as an unexpected fatal event occurring in an apparently healthy subject.
Absolute permanent disability → For the purposes of this guarantee, absolute permanent disability is understood to be an irreversible physical condition as the result of an accident or illness that permanently disqualifies a worker from any employment relationship or professional activity.
b) Endowment policy
The market currently offers a high number of varied savings insurance products that are classified according to the type.
People have always been worried about their retirement and the concern will probably increase at a global level. Spanish Social Security pensions tend to be lower than salaries. When people should be able to enjoy the peace of mind associated to this stage of life, they start worrying about maintaining their financial stability once they have stopped working.
Different ways to capitalise with savings insurance
We divide the insurance into two large blocks:
For individuals
Individual systematic saving plans (PIES)
Individual pension schemes (PPI)
Insured pension schemes (PPA)
Long-term individual savings insurance (SIALP)
For bussinesses
Mutual provident societies
Employers' social provision schemes (PPSE)
Employment pension schemes
Long-term care insurance
Temporary loyalty savings insurance (STAF)
We also include investment funds in savings insurance policies. We divide them into guaranteed investment funds and non-guaranteed investment funds
c) Accident insurance

They can be classified into:
- Accidental death
- Disability due to accident

d) Health or sickness insurance
The insured risk is the insured person’s illness (and that of their family if a family policy has been contracted). In the event of an illness duly certified by a doctor that comes under the agreed terms and conditions, the payment of certain sums and expenses associated to medical and pharmaceutical treatment is guaranteed.

Civil liability insurance
CIVIL CODE → CHAPTER II → On the obligations arising from fault or negligence.
Article 1.902
The person who, as a result of an action or omission, causes damage to another by their fault or negligence shall be obliged to repair the damage caused.
They can be classified into the following groups:
1. General civil liability:
General civil liability protects the insured person's property in assuming the compensations that could correspond to them as a consequence of damages they cause to third parties during the development of their activity. Said compensation will be within the limits accepted in the contract.
2. Professional liability
Professional liability is addressed to all the professionals that are involved in the constructive process who exercise their activity in an independent manner, regardless of whether they are a legal entity or an individual.
This policy covers the pecuniary consequences that can be claimed from the insured person in the exercise of their professional activity.
3. Directors and officers liability insurance (D&O)
D&O liability insurance is addressed to board members, officers and all the appointed directors in the company.
A D&O insurance policy covers the losses and defence costs arising from claims covered by the policy for presumed improper acts performed by the company's senior officers.
Environmental liability is added to civil liability and is required by the competent public authority in order to cover the expense of material and personal damage, as well as damages caused by pollution.
Service provision insurance
Service provision insurance includes the branches of the insuring activity in which the insurance company undertakes to provide a service to the insured party; on occasions it also includes the obligation to award financial compensation.
These policies mainly include:
- Legal defence policies
